NEW features being added

We are growing very slowly :-0) but we are excited. We wanted to let you know of some of the features we have added to the site to make song reviewing and critiquing more fun.

First and foremost, users are now able to upvote/downvote ratings. If the song review is descriptive and provides value, users can upvote those ratings. The person who did the rating will gain points and build up their ‘reputation’. And if the review is of low quality, users can downvote those ratings. And the rater will lose ‘reputation’. This concept is very similar to stackoverflow and we think it would be fun to implement the same idea for song reviewing.

A user can build reputation either by uploading songs that are highly rated by others or by writing really good reviews and accumulating points. With high reputation, a user will be able to gain privileges in the site. For example, each vote of a user with high reputation will have a ‘heavier’ vote when they rate others. Thus, they will be able to influence the ratings of a song much more compared to an ordinary user. We are still figuring out other privileges we could provide to those users. Any feedback is appreciated 🙂

There are a few rules we have put in place for upvoting/downvoting.

1. A user cannot downvote a rating of their own song.

If someone writes a review of my song that points out the flaws in the song, I might not like it and downvote that rating. That is not what we want. Therefore, we are not allowing the song owner to downvote any of the ratings however unpleasant they are. Only other users are able to downvote such ratings. The song owner can however upvote the rating to motivate the rater to write good reviews.

2. A user cannot upvote/downvote a rating that has no comment in it.

SInce a rating can only have score and does not need to have a comment, users can only upvote/downvote a rating that has a comment in it.

3. You cannot upvote/downvote your own rating.

This one is pretty common sense. If you are the one who did the rating, you cannot upvote/downvote your own rating.

Some other features we have implemented:

Song play history. Even anonymous plays are tracked based on IP address location.

Points accumulated are display on the user’s profile page.

FAQ page has been updated.

Users can comment on each rating. Prior to that, you could only write comments on the song page or the profile page.

Coming Soon:

Song rating preference. You can select multiple genres and countries to choose the songs from while rating.

Email alert preference. You will be able to control what kind of email alerts you would like to receive so that we don’t fill up your inbox.

Privileges on the site based on your reputation.

Please keep checking out the site regularly. We hope to make this site a fun place for musicians who are looking to get feedback on their music and we hope you will make friends along the way.
